A member asked:
Will ct scan after tkr show torn mcl. patella dislocated relocated. is kneebmalpotioned? will it show much damage to appliance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT usually not good.: Ct is used best for bone, not soft tissue i.e. Ligaments (mcl); also not good for alignment usually a good examination or musculoskeletal ultrasound is better for dynamic i.e. Movement evaluation. Depending on the appliance composition ct may not show damage. Your best evaluation is examination and ultrasound for soft tissue and dynamic evaluation.
